Monday, January 14, 2019: Keeping Collective Memory Alive - Ancient Puberty Rites


Winnemem Puberty Ceremony 2010

And from Radio Curious, Christina Amestad Aanestad interviews Caleen Sisk-Franco, the Spiritual Leader and Chief of the Winnemem-Wintu tribe in Northern California, about ancient puberty rites for young women which the tribe resurrected a few years ago, after not performing it for 80 years. The forest service refuses to grant the tribe private access to their ancestral land along the McCloud river, because they are an “unrecognized” tribe, but the tribe realized that if they did not figure out how to bring back the ritual, it will be lost as the oldest members die out.
